C#m   F#m/A   C#m   F#m/A
C#m   F#m/A   C#m   F#m/A

C#m                F#m/A
Lightning hits the house of wax
C#m             F#m/A
Poets spill out on the street
   C#m            F#m/A
To set alight the incomplete
  C#m             F#m/A
Remainders of the future

C#m           F#m/A
Hidden in the yard
C#m           F#m/A
Hidden in the yard

C#m   F#m/A   C#m   F#m/A
Ooooh
C#m   F#m/A   C#m   F#m/A
Ooooh

C#m                F#m/A
Thunder drowns the trumpet's blast
C#m           F#m/A
Poets scatter through the night
    C#m           F#m/A
But they can only dream of flight
C#m                F#m/A
Away from their confusion

C#m           F#m/A
Hidden in the yard
C#m           F#m/A
Underneath the wall
C#m                          Bbm
Buried deep below a thousand layers
                     B    C#  F#/C#  C#
Lay the answer to it all, oh,  oh,   oh

C#m   F#m/A   C#m   F#m/A
C#m   F#m/A   C#m   F#m/A

C#m                F#m/A
Lightning hits the house of wax
C#m              F#m/A
Women scream and run around
   C#m            F#m/A
To dance upon the battleground
     C#m           F#m/A
Like wild demented horses

C#m           F#m/A
Hidden in the yard
C#m           F#m/A
Underneath the wall
C#m                          Bbm
Buried deep below a thousand layers
                     B    C#  F#/C#  C#
Lay the answer to it all, oh,  oh,   oh

C#m   F#m/A   C#m   F#m/A
C#m   F#m/A   C#m   F#m/A

C#m           F#m/A
Oh, hidden in the yard
C#m           F#m/A
Underneath the wall
C#m                          Bbm
Buried deep below a thousand layers
                     B    C#  F#/C#  C#
Lay the answer to it all, oh,  oh,   oh
